Aj. Blake et al., STACKED AMIDO MACROCYCLIC COMPLEXES - SYNTHESIS AND SINGLE-CRYSTAL X-RAY STRUCTURE OF NA[CU(L)(NCME)](BF4)(2)(NO3) IS(2-HYDROXY-2-METHYLPROPYL,4,7-TRIAZACYCLONONANE], Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (21), 1994, pp. 2467-2469
The synthesis of bi-functional derivatives of [9]aneN(3) is described;
the structure of Na[Cu(L)(NCMe)](BF4)(2)(NO3) shows a central [Na(BF4
)(2)](-) core with the O-donor of the amide moiety of successive [Cu(L
)(NCMe)](2+) cations bound to Na+ to give a stacked structure.
